Advanced Usage of Biometrics Services With medical science developing manifold, today biometrics are used successfully in several scientific

studies and forms an integral element of forensic science and is an essential element of access

control systems. It is helpful in maximizing the security level and also makes the identification and

authentication process easy, fast and convenient. Formerly, biometrics seemed to be expensive

especially due to the economic constraint and the individual data protection rights were restricted.

Biometrics information changes irrevocably the link between the identity and the body, as they make

the features of a human body machine readable and is also subject to any further use.

Biometric data can also be processed and saved in various forms. There are times when this data

captured from an individual is processed and saved in a raw form and it enables to identify its source,

such as the voice recording, fingerprint picture, face picture and many more. There are times when raw

captured biometric information is processed in a specific way that only chosen features get saved and

extracted as a biometric template.

Adaptive biometric Systems aim to auto-update the templates or model to the intra-class variation

of the operational data. The two-fold advantages of these systems are solving the problem of limited

training data and tracking the temporal variations of the input data through adaptation. Recently,

adaptive biometrics have received a significant attention from the research community. This research

direction is expected to gain momentum because of their key promulgated advantages. First, with an

adaptive biometric system, one no longer needs to collect a large number of biometric samples during

the enrollment process. Second, it is no longer necessary to re-enrol or retrain the system from the

scratch in order to cope up with the changing environment. This convenience can significantly reduce

the cost of maintaining a biometric system. Despite these advantages, there are several open issues

involved with these systems.

The primary objective of biometric companies is to convert raw data to accurate and reliable trial

results that remain compliant with selected regulatory services and policies. In addition to that, these

companies have their biometric teams that work in order to accelerate the regulatory submission

process and reduce timeline.
